Jane sells 8 times as many Volvos as Melissa. If the difference in their sales is 35, how many cars did Jane sell?

Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

Melissa sold 5 Volvos. Given that Jane sold eight times as many Volvos as Melissa, Jane sold 40 Volvos.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can use a simple equation. Let's denote the number of Volvos Melissa sold as 'x'. Since Jane sells 8 times as many Volvos as Melissa, the number of Volvos Jane sold can be denoted as '8x'. We know from the problem that the difference between the number of cars Jane and Melissa sold is 35, so we can write the equation like this: 8x - x = 35.

By simplifying the equation, we get 7x = 35. Therefore, to find the value of 'x', we divide 35 by 7, which gives us 'x' equals to 5.

But 'x' is the number of Volvos Melissa sold. To find out the number of cars Jane sold, we multiply 'x' by 8. Which gives us 5 multiplied by 8 equals to 40 cars.

The product of 8 and the sum of 4 and a number is 112. What is the number?

Which equation could be used to solve for the number?

Answers

Product of 8 and the sum of 4 and a number:

sum of 4 and a number: (4 + n)

Product of 8

8 x (4 + n) is 112

8 x (4 + n) = 112

Distribute

32 + 8n = 112

Subtratc

8n = 80

Divide by 8

n = 10

The number is 10, and next time please put options because it says "Which equation could be used to solve for the number?"
You probably are supposed to use PEMDAS (the order of operations) to represent this equation so i would choose C.

It sounds like 8*(n+4)=112 then you have simple algebraic equation that could be solved by a TI-Calculator or by hand
Divide both sides by 8
Subtract four from both sides
You're left with n= the answer

Critical Thinking: Buses on your route run every 9 minutes from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. You get to the bus stop at 7:16 AM,…
a. What is the maximum amount of time you should have to wait for the bus?
b. How many minutes after the buses begin running at 6:00 AM, do you arrive at the bus stop?
c. What time does the first bus of the day arrive at the bus stop?
...?

Answers

Taking 6:00 AM as the starting point and time in minutes from the starting point, You get to the bust stop at 76 min.

(a) Every 9 minutes, bus run from the bus stop. So the last bus was on 72 min. So you are 4 min late. Therefore you have to wait for, 9 - 4 = 5 min.

(b) As shown earlier, you arrived 76 min after the buses begin running.

(c) The first time is 9 minutes after the starting time, which is 6:09 AM.

2[-(7-7x)] = 2x + 4

12x = 18

x = 1.5

answer:
solutions x = 0.625 and x = 1.5

Answer: The answer is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8},~\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex] and no extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation: The given equation is

[tex]2|7-7x|=2x+4.[/tex]

We are given to solve this equation and also find its extraneous solution.

The solution is as follows:

[tex]2|7-7x|=2x+4\\\\\Rightarrow |7-7x|=x+2\\\\\Rightarrow 7-7x=x+2,~~~~~-7+7x=x+2\\\\\Rightarrow 8x=5,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow 6x=9\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5}{8},~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3}{2}.[/tex]

now, for [tex]x=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex], we have

[tex]L.H.S.=2|7-7\times \dfrac{5}{8}|=\dfrac{21}{4},\\\\R.H.S.=2\times\dfrac{5}{8}+4=\dfrac{21}{4}.[/tex]

So, this solution is not extraneous.

For [tex]x=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex], we have

[tex]L.H.S.=2|7-7\times \dfrac{3}{2}|=7,\\\\R.H.S.=2\times\dfrac{3}{2}+4=7.[/tex]

So, this solution is also not extraneous.

Hence, the solution is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8},~\dfrac{3}{2}[tex] and there is no extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your welcome, and you better call saul

The standard form of 1.46e - 6 is 0.00000146.

To convert the number 1.46e-6 to standard form, we need to move the decimal point to the left as many times as indicated by the exponent of the scientific notation, which is -6 in this case.

This means moving the decimal point six places to the left.

Start with the number in scientific notation:

Move the decimal point six places to the left (because of the negative exponent):

A woman at a point A on the shore of a circular lake with radius r=4 wants to arrive at the point C diametrically opposite A on the other side of the lake in the shortest possible time. She can walk at the rate of 10mph and row a boat at 5mph. What is the shortest amount of time it would take her to reach point C?
I'm not sure where to start... :(

Answers

Final answer:

The shortest possible time for the woman to reach the point diametrically opposite on the other side of the lake is 0.8 hours, regardless if she chooses to walk around the lake or row across it.

Explanation:

The subject of this problem is about distance and speed, and involves optimizing the total travel time. The woman has two main options: to walk around the lake or to row across it. The diameter of the lake is 2r=8, if she walked, it would take her 8/10=0.8 hours to reach point C.

However, if she rows straight across the lake, the distance is the radius of the lake, which is 4 miles. The time taken to row across the lake is therefore 4/5=0.8 hours.

So, both options take the exact same time of 0.8 hours. Therefore, the shortest amount of time it would take for her to reach point C is 0.8 hours whether she chooses to walk around the lake or row across it.

Answers

A cubic is conventionally pictured as a rising curve, passing through a maximum and then a minimum before rising again - a double-humped curve. But depending on the relative sizes of the coefficients of the terms, and hence the proportion of functions with even or odd symmetry, the overall shape may differ widely. In particular, if the terms with odd symmetry dominate, the curve may not show either a maximum or a minimum, with the slope always of the same sign ie it is monotonically increasing or decreasing.

A plumber charges a $45 fee to make a house call and then $25 for each hour of labor. The plumber uses an equation in the form y=mx +b to determine the amount to charge each customer. What is the value of m in the equation?

Answers

m=slope
In this case the slope would be $25
y=mx+b
y=25x+45

Answer: m=25

Answer:

Let x represents the number of hours of labor and y represents the total charges.

Since, in the given situation,

The total charges = A fixed charge for house call + Extra charge per hours,

Fixed charge for house call = $ 45,

Extra charges for every hour = $ 25,

⇒ Extra charge for x hours = 25 x,

Thus, the total charges for x hours,

y = 45 + 25 x

Which is the required equation that will use to determine the amount to charge each customer.

By comparing this equation with y = mx + c,

m = 25

The following set of coordinates represents which figure?

(3, -5), (5, -2), (10, -4), (8, -7)

A. parallelogram
B. rectangle
C. trapezoid
D. square
...?

Answers

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Coordinates of the figure are ( 3 , -5 ) , ( 5 , -2 ) , ( 10 , 4 ) and ( 8 , -7 )

To find: Shape of the figure.

First we plot the given coordinates of the point on the graph then see which shape we obtained.

Graphing these points we get attached graph.

Clearly from graph it is a parallelogram because opposite sides are equal and parallel.

It is not a rectangle as clearly from graph angles at vertex are not right angle.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Final answer:

To identify the geometric figure that the coordinates represent, plot the points, determine the slopes and lengths of the sides, and verify the properties of the geometric figures such as parallel sides and right angles.

Explanation:

The student has provided the coordinates of a figure and asks which geometric figure they represent. To determine the figure, we need to consider the characteristics of the points given.

The coordinates provided are (3, -5), (5, -2), (10, -4), and (8, -7). By plotting these points on a Cartesian plane and connecting them in order, we could identify the figure based on the slopes of the sides and the lengths of the segments, which indicate parallel and perpendicular lines.

We need to calculate the distances between consecutive points and the slopes of the lines to confirm whether opposite sides are equal and parallel (a characteristic of a parallelogram) and whether all angles are right angles (a characteristic of a rectangle). These calculations can confirm the identity of the figure.

Answers

Final answer:

To create a log expression that simplifies to 7^x = 64, we need to use the logarithmic and exponential laws.

Explanation:

To create a log expression that simplifies to 7^x = 64, we need to use the logarithmic and exponential laws.

First, we can rewrite the exponential equation as a logarithmic equation, which is x = log7(64).Next, we can use the logarithmic property that states logb(ax) = x * logb(a). Applying this property, we have x = log7(26) = 6 * log7(2).

Therefore, the log expression that simplifies to 7^x = 64 is x = 6 * log7(2).
